What exactly is a White Elephant gift?
A White Elephant gift is a silly, wacky or tacky item that will mean something specific to the one who receives it.
Example: Your sister loves kittens, but hates clowns. The perfect White Elephant gift for her would be a figurine of a kitten dressed up as a clown!
